"Brigid Brophy's 'In Transit' is an evaluation of the late '60s in the form of black comedy of manners which the disintegration of civilization is deconstructed. All throughout the novel, Brophy, with a dead-pan black humor, lambasts the sixties, presenting the era as a theater of cruelty and of extreme self-alienation."
